drummonds in comrie perth

[crdrummond]

Thanks hume - I have now registered and am looking around the site.  Out of interest, it looks like the census data only goes back to 1841, but the info you provided on the Drummonds dates before 1795.  Can I ask where I should look to start tracing this far back?
Apologies if I'm missing the obvious!

Hi Catherine,

This information came from the International Genealogical Index (IGI for short). They have a lot of Scotland's Old Parish Records and also have the statutory birth and marriage indexes from 1855 to around 1874. Original images of the registers do need to be viewed on ScotlandsPeople though.

From a post from fellow RC-er Gadget recently:

Go to Family Search, Search page

Select International Genealogical Index from the left hand menu

Enter the parents' names in the right hand boxes where it says Father and Mother

You can narrow down your search using counties but this may not be the best idea, especially if your family moved from place to place.

I think that more info can be had (*)
My great-great aunt was a Catherine (Katie) Drummond who had a sweet shop in Comrie in the late 1800s.

I have a Mary Drummond born 1764 to Alexander Drummond and Margaret McEwen in Comrie. Siblings John, Gregory, Christian and Margaret according to SP.
Does this Alexander fit into anyone (on this board)'s tree? Has anyone done a DNA test I could compare to? (I am not 100% positive that these are the parents for my Mary Drummond but they are the only ones on SP that fit).
